Among the events planned: a rededication of the statue and a screening of "42," the biopic about Robinson.

"We wanted to use this as a platform to show what Jackie and Pee Wee stood for and not have the conversation just be about what happened to the statue," Billy Harner, a Cyclones spokesman, told The Daily News. The statue was written on in black marker with markings including a swastika and racial epithets.
